provided between the lower faces of the wood parts 12 and the lateral flanges 21 of the brackets.

Thus with the present construction the space within the show case at a corner thereof, heretofore inaccessible, may now be reached easily and quickly by merely lifting the door 8 from the pillars. Moreover, the handle 30 by which the door may be lifted constitutes a brace between the wing sections 31 and 32 respectively of the door and strengthens and reinforces the same. H

I/Vhile it is believed that from the foregoing description the nature and advantages of my invention will be readily apparent, desire to have it understood that I do not limit myself to what is herein shown and described, and that such changes may be resorted to when desired as fall within the scope of what is claimed.

IVhat I claim as my invention is:

1. In a show case, a corner assembly including spaced pillars, rails disposed at substantially right angles to each other having portions secured upon thepillars and having other portions overlapping certain faces of the pillars, and a movable door having portions received between the overlapping portions and the faces aforesaid of the pillars.

2. In a show case, a corner assembly including spaced pillars, brackets carried by said pillars at the lower ends thereof and having lateral portions overlapping certain faces of the pillars, top supporting rails disposed at' substantially right angles to each other having portions secured upon the'upper ends ofthe pillars and having other portions overlapping certain faces of the pillars, and a movable door having portions received between the lateral portions aforesaid and said pillars, and having other portions detachably received between the overlapping portions of the rails aforesaid and said pillars.

3. In a show case, a corner assembly including spaced pillars, rails disposedat substantially right angles to each other having portions secured upon said pillars, bracket means carried by said pillars adjacent the lower ends thereof, and a removable door having portions detachably received between said brackets and the adjacent portions of said pillars.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

LEO w. KENNEDY.
